The world's most amazing cottage
Amanda promised an experience that was like the movie The Holiday as her thatched cottage is in an adorable little hamlet in a stunning part of the UK. We had a week's holiday there that far surpassed any of our dreams and it was thanks to the best host we're ever had. You're part of our family now, Amanda, and will be always welcome in our homes in NZ. We'll never forget our special time in your beautiful cottage that is like living in a movie or book -surreal! We will definitely be back xxx

Wonderful cottage
It is just out 'The Holiday' - cute, cosy and beautiful. All the rooms are great with the bonus of a garden area and an open fire in the lounge. Amanda was amazing in every way. Her communication was excellent and the welcome really warm. We felt instantly at home in the cottage and really did not want to leave!

Truly, a place to relax and to enjoy
From the first contact, Amanda greeted us in the very best way and provided us with information on places to visit and local events. Her house is beautifully furnished and we felt at home from the very first moment. When the window door to the garden needed repair, she immediately took care of it. We will definitely be back, I am certain!
